My Fiancée Hates Me

I was called up to the Headmaster's office one day without any information as to why I was being called up.

When I opened the door, I saw Charlotte and six other people that I had never met before all lined up.

Charlotte waved at me when she saw me walk in.

I stood beside Charlotte and faced Headmaster Ingram.

"We are missing two more people," Headmaster Ingram said as she laced her fingers over.

She seems irritated.

Just then, Prince Erik and the Second Prince of Nariel walked in.

My heart and body felt unsettled upon seeing Erik walk in. My entire body shook with fear as I remembered the cruel Erik from my dream.

"Are you going to let me die a second time then?" Erik asked.

A shiver ran down my spine.

Charlotte grabbed my hand and held it behind her back.

This person is not my Erik.

I calmed myself down as I squeezed Charlotte's hand back.

This person is not my Erik.

I repeated the spell as if it were a chant.

For now, just die...my feelings for you...

The Prince of Nariel made his way towards me and stood beside me with a gleeful expression. If only Garett was here...

I soon shook my head.

This is bad...I am becoming one of those overly reliant women on others.

It is because Garett keeps spoiling me because he is a true gentleman even though his mouth is not where everything else is at. Even I am not dense enough to not notice everything Garett has done for me.

There will be a rotation in partners several times for a total of three songs, so everyone will experience dancing with at least two other people. Keep in mind
